Dr. William Davis, author of Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight<\/strong>, initially made the connection between his own increased intake of \u201chealthy whole grains\u201d and weight gain.\u00a0 Here was a cardiologist who jogged every day, ate a good diet (ate minimal fats, avoided junk foods, etc) but continued to gain weight over time. He was 30 lbs. overweight and diabetic (not a very good role model for his patients!) He suspected his increase in whole grains could be connected.<\/p>\n

Have you ever had a breakfast of nothing but carbs?\u00a0 A bagel with coffee, waffles or pancakes, and felt great.\u00a0 Yet an hour later you were ravaged with hunger?\u00a0 Only to consume more carbs to satisfy that hunger?\u00a0 And repeat this all day!<\/p>\n

Have you ever had a breakfast of an omelet with cheese and vegetables, fresh fruit, and\u00a0 juice, and felt satisfied until lunch?\u00a0 Dr. Davis experienced this time and again and realized there was a connection.<\/p>\n

Having patients with heart-related diseases at his fingertips, Dr. Davis put his patients on a wheat-free diet for 3 months.\u00a0 The results were pretty amazing:<\/p>\n
